Event: Participatory recovery and reconstruction: Lessons from Ukraine

Alongside colleagues from the Community Development Journal, I am organising this hybrid event which is taking place in Glasgow’s Advanced Research Centre from 6pm-8pm on Monday 26th February.

For a free ticket to attend either in-person or online, please book via Eventbrite.

As the conflict in Ukraine enters its third year, how are community development workers building participatory approaches to recovery and reconstruction?

This event will see Nataliya Drozd (Dobrochyn Centre) and Oleksandr Pidhorniy (Chernihiv Centre for Human Rights) in conversation with peacebuilding expert Professor Sinéad Gormally (School of Education, University of Glasgow).

We will hear first-hand about democratic activism, local self-governance, and integration of internally displaced peoples from civil society experts based on the ground in Ukraine. Attendees will also have space to reflect on how we can apply insights from their knowledge and experience within our own communities in Scotland.

This will be a hybrid event – when you book your (free) ticket, please state whether you will be joining online. We will circulate a link to join the event on the afternoon of 26th February.
